Obama Stimulus Package: A Color Printer And Green Paper For Every Taxpayer

President Barack Obama, flanked by Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax” Timothy Geithner and Ben “B-52 Bomber” Bernanke, today outlined the details of his latest economic stimulus package. The plan, expected to be implemented within 2-4 weeks, calls for every American taxpayer to receive a color laser printer, special green paper, and detailed instructions which will explain how to print Federal Reserve Notes.

Mr. Obama said his plan was “equal to the task" that the US faced.

“America has the most dynamic and robust economy in the world. And in order to maintain the high standards that we have set, we need to jump-start the economy in a way that doesn’t just deal with the short term, doesn’t just create jobs immediately, but also puts us on a glide path for long-term sustainable economic growth.”

“And so, we thought long and hard about the best way to get money into the hands of the people quickly, and this is the conclusion that we reached. What better way than to give every taxpayer the ability to create their own currency? The beauty of fiat currency is that it gives us this type of flexibility.”

I have a question for the Bears. If the government is manipulating the market up why would it fail here? Why would not the government (s) be able run the S&P on up another 200-2000 points? Or worst case why would not it (they) be able to at least maintain it above 900?

But what if farmer's and oil producers lose their "faith in the US government". Will we still be able to exchange these new notes for the necessities of life? I'd much prefer a lifetime supply of food and fuel!
